Chapter 763 - 423: Ascending the Immortal Flying Pavilion
"Lady?"
Qiu Zhihe's words instantly left Qin Gengyun stunned. Mo Xiaolan, whom he was supporting, gently broke free and stood up, earnestly saying to Qiu Zhihe:
"Sister Qiu, your affection for Qin Gengyun runs deep, and he is devoted solely to you. Please don't say such things anymore."
Qiu Zhihe looked at her. The two women exchanged glances, one cold and serene, the other spirited and bold.
After a long while, Qiu Zhihe suddenly sighed: "Xiaolan, the Cyan Lotus Sect has a cultivation technique that can use residual aura to see things that happened in the past. Back in Yunling Town..."
"Sister Qiu, Qin Gengyun and I are just friends. Everything I did in the past was out of loyalty, without any romantic intention."
"Now that the Cyan Lotus Sect is on the verge of being rebuilt, and you are pregnant, you and Qin Gengyun should be united as a couple, working together.
"Susu, Xiaoxue, and I will also fully support you."
"I..."
Mo Xiaolan looked at Qin Gengyun and smiled: "Watching the two of you love each other brings joy to my heart."
Having said this, she turned and walked into the courtyard, entered a room, and began to heal herself.
Looking at her tall and poised back, Qin Gengyun asked Qiu Zhihe in confusion: "Lady, what did you mean by the cultivation technique that can see past events? Was there something in Yunling Town that I don't know?"
Qiu Zhihe was silent for a moment, then seriously looked at Qin Gengyun: "Husband, it has to do with Xiaolan. If you want to know, I'll tell you."
Qin Gengyun also fell silent, and after a long while, he shook his head: "Xiaolan interrupted you just now because she doesn't want me to know. It wouldn't be fair to her if I learned it from you. She will tell me when she wants."
Qiu Zhihe snorted: "Husband, you're so cunning?"
Qin Gengyun was puzzled: "How am I cunning?"
Qiu Zhihe glared at him: "You're so attuned with your confidante that I seem like the bad guy now. You might as well ignore me!"
With that said, she turned to leave, but suddenly let out a soft cry as Qin Gengyun picked her up in his arms.
"We're outside, put me down quickly!"
Qiu Zhihe's cheeks turned red as she slapped Qin Gengyun's back, but the top combat power Demon Sect Saintess was currently like a delicate little lady, her small hands weak and powerless.
Qin Gengyun lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Lady, there's still time. Tonight, I'll transfer Five Wheel Primordial Qi to you again."
Qiu Zhihe's earlobe was caressed, instantly rendering her body soft and her eyes seductive.
"Mm..."
Qin Gengyun laughed heartily and carried her into the bedroom.
After the bedroom door was closed, in another room far away.
Mo Xiaolan sat on the ground, her gaze deep and her voice slightly dim, then a smile appeared on her face:
"I don't regret..."
Having said this, she closed her eyes, and bunches of orchids emerged from her body, surrounding her layer by layer.
...
Outside West Imperial City.
A woman in a light blue Liuxian Skirt, carrying a Yaoqin, sat in a large tree, swinging her little legs, and pulled a chicken leg out from under her skirt.
With her mouth full of grease, she munched audibly, enjoying herself immensely:
"Haha, Bai Liu, that old lecher, is finally dead, I'm free!"
The woman, elegant in her demeanor, was far from graceful as she chewed on the chicken leg, laughing heartily:
"From now on, there's no more Fairy Yaoqin. There's only me, Chicken Leg Immortal, hahaha!"
Suddenly, a huge scroll appeared in the sky, spanning the entire firmament, visible to everyone on Hongzhou Continent.
"What is the Immortal Flying Pavilion up to now?"
Jiang Yin looked up, mumbling to herself while munching on her chicken leg.
At this moment, the giant scroll unfurled, revealing lines of radiant text:
"One month later, outside Jianxian City, under Immortal Flying Peak, Mo Xiaolan, Qin Gengyun, and Xu Caihe will ascend the Immortal Flying Pavilion."
These words, as enormous as the scroll itself, stretched across the sky, displayed before all inhabitants of Hongzhou Continent.
Jiang Yin looked up at the text and chuckled:
"If they're ascending, let them ascend. Why make it known across the world? Afraid the world isn't chaotic enough, is it? This Immortal Flying Pavilion is really something!"
"Now Jianxian City won't know how many will die!"
"Forget it, it's none of my business anyway."
Jiang Yin tossed the chicken bone she had finished gnawing on, casually wiped her mouth, and stood up.
"You all can fight and kill each other; I'm leaving!"
The fairy-like elegant figure vanished in a flash.
Only the giant Immortal Flying Scroll remained stretched across the sky, exuding endless temptation, attracting countless cultivators to look up, their eyes filled with boundless desire.
...
Yunling Town.
Narrow Rain Lane.
Landlord Lin had just finished cleaning a room that's long rented by a tenant, and stepped out, rubbing her lower back.
"That Qin Gengyun is truly wealthy. He rented the place for five hundred years but never came back to live, yet I'm left to clean it myself."
The tenant of this rental property is named Qin Gengyun, who used to be impoverished but married a beautiful lady.
His days slowly improved, and his cultivation advanced, earning gold daily.
Consequently, Qin Gengyun and his lady moved to the Qinhe Garden over on Caifeng Street.
Later, this couple left Yunling Town.
Before they moved out of Narrow Rain Lane, Qin Gengyun found Landlord Lin and paid rent for five hundred years, saying this was the place where he and his lady first met, and he wanted to keep it as a memento.
Soon after, Yunling Town experienced a beast tide, but fortunately, Narrow Rain Lane did not suffer much damage.
This rental house has been preserved.
Landlord Lin, being diligent, collected the rent and comes to clean every few days.
At this moment, she stepped out of the room and glanced at the opposite house, sighing.
"I wonder how little Xiaolan is doing?"
Opposite this house lived a female cultivator named Mo Xiaolan.
This girl arrived in Yunling Town at the age of fifteen, renting this place without any spirit coins, attempting to use two pieces of beast hide to offset the rent.
Recalling Mo Xiaolan's youthful, naive appearance back then, Landlord Lin chuckled.
Two years after Mo Xiaolan moved into Narrow Rain Lane, Qin Gengyun moved into the opposite room.
Mo Xiaolan was youthful and energetic, cheerful and hardworking, while Qin Gengyun seemed weathered and fraught with concerns.
Landlord Lin believed they would hardly interact.
Contrary to her expectations, Mo Xiaolan and Qin Gengyun quickly became familiar and formed a close friendship.
Landlord Lin even witnessed them escort a drunken counterpart home.
She always assumed they would become Dao companions.
Unexpectedly, Qin Gengyun soon married a very beautiful lady and brought her home.
Afterward, Mo Xiaolan left Yunling Town, followed by Qin Gengyun and his beautiful lady.
"You never know with life, I wonder how Qin Gengyun and Lady Qiu are doing?"
Suddenly, a gigantic scroll appeared in the sky with a line of text:
"One month later, outside Jianxian City, under Immortal Flying Peak, Mo Xiaolan, Qin Gengyun, and Xu Caihe will ascend the Immortal Flying Pavilion."
Tenants of Narrow Rain Lane emerged from their houses, gazing up at the enormous scroll in the sky, exclaiming in surprise.
Landlord Lin also glanced up at the names on the scroll, stood stunned for a long time, and suddenly tears fell.
"Xiaolan, it's that little girl Xiaolan, wonderful, wonderful..."
